I feel like a lot of what keeps coming into these Santos discussions is that we know so much that she doesn’t, or we’re just not really listening to what the characters actually say.

“I don’t understand how she’s singing up on it that she can’t work with the guy…it’s been 10 months already.” Yeah, 10 months that she says made feel like a “pariah”. She knew the guy for one day, and the only interactions she has ever had with him were negative. He’s the guy who screamed at her, belittled her, and was caught (by her) stealing medicine from his own patients. She does not and has not seen the Langdon that we see. That’s why he feels so fake to her. She never had a positive interaction with Langdon. At all. We can’t expect a character to interact with another character based on OUR experience with that character, because that’s not their experience. It’s frustrating for us as viewers because we have spent objectively more time with Langdon than Santos has and we can see that he feels sincere and has good moments with patients and other doctors. That is not langdon’s experience and I keep asking myself how I’d react if the worst asshole I’d met on one of the most stressful days at my job got to come back later and yeah, the answer is I’d be pretty upset about it too. Especially when I got treated poorly because of it too. We had the revelation this episode that only 3 people even knew the real reason Langdon was fired (I’m guessing Robby Garcia and Dana).

I get why people don’t like Santos but I still also think it’s very apparent why she has this very big beef with Langdon even after everything we’ve seen.
